The Upper Thames River Conservation Authority is reminding residents to use extreme caution around streams and rivers this weekend.
OXFORD COUNTY - The Upper Thames River Conservation Authority is reminding residents to use extreme caution around streams and rivers.
The water is moving fast and is still very cold. Extra caution should be taken near rivers, streams and ditches, especially if you have young children and pets.
Temperatures have risen above freezing and are forecast to remain there for much of the weekend, including overnight. The forecast also includes 15-25 mm of rain over Friday and Saturday.
The UTRCA expects the snow pack to absorb much of the rain, but some runoff into local watercourses is possible, particularly with the higher rainfall amounts. The ground is generally wet and/or frozen, and unable to absorb water.
The UTRCA does not anticipate significant flooding; however, low lying, flood prone areas may become inundated with the higher rainfall amounts.
